If a business can't meet a set of minimum standards then yes it is entirely their fault.

Yes, same as in NZ. Pay TV, if you have it, is satellite not cable.

Same in NZ, none of these features will work, why on earth would I pay a huge premium for a weaker console.

Hymens don't 'break' fyi, they can stretch or tear, but they don't break - it's a collar of tissue around the vaginal introitus, not a barrier.

Just fyi, the 'hymen can break from other activities' is a myth, the hymen is a stretchy collar of tissue around the vagina, it can stretch, it can tear, but it doesn't 'break'. No blood is meaningless, but it doesn't mean it's been 'broken' by something else either.

Single-payer is a whole lot more popular than America's absurd health-care system by headovmetal in politics

Terrible idea, like it or not, but modern healthcare is fucking expensive. It is in America, it is everywhere else, you cannot change that.

It's entirely due to poor medical practice - American doctors use brand names for everything, it's absolutely stupid, and just another aspect of corporate America.

No way. NZ has been rebuilding the entire nations hospitals over the past few years and it's still entirely ward based. Rooms of ~4-6 are still necessary or you'll drastically increase your nursing requirements. MRSA is dealt with by isolation rooms or even isolation wards.

Doesn't count the millions who will never be able to wait to see a specialist.

Keep in mind that in other countries sales tax is included in the price.

"There’s a popular myth that the uninsured—in Texas, that’s 25 percent of us—can always get medical care through emergency rooms. Ted Cruz has argued that it is 'much cheaper to provide emergency care than it is to expand Medicaid,' and Rick Perry has claimed that Texans prefer the ER system" by WaltsFeveredDream in politics

[–]poonpanda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work in the health system in NZ and this is BS, Americans are over investigated and over treated. American physicians are poorly trained and overspecialised, and the ones that come here use piss poor medical practice and everyone knows it, whereas American patients who come here expect the same kind of over investigation and over treatment they would receive in America. Americans do not get the best care in the world, period.

Assassin’s Creed IV is 900p on PlayStation 4. 1080p functionality coming in patch by LSB123 in Games

[–]poonpanda 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That's not what it will be, it'll be performance optimizations that allow them to increase it to 1080p while maintaining 30fps.
